Blue Sky Coworking Partners with Harwood Art Center to Expand SURFACE Programming for Emerging Artists
Blue Sky Coworking NM is proud to announce a new partnership with Harwood Art Center to extend the reach of SURFACE: Emerging Artists of New Mexico, a program dedicated to supporting early-career artists across the state.
Through this collaboration, select SURFACE exhibitions will be brought to Blue Sky Coworking, creating additional opportunities for artists to show their work, connect with new audiences, and continue building momentum beyond the core program. In addition to gallery shows, Blue Sky will host follow-on classes, group discussions, and community events open to SURFACE alumni and potentially to the public.
The partnership will officially launch with an art opening at Blue Sky Coworking on January 23, held as part of the grand opening of the Blue Sky Coworking space. This first event will introduce the collaboration to the community while highlighting the work of SURFACE artists in a new and dynamic setting.
This partnership is rooted in a shared belief: creative work thrives when artists have access to space, community, and ongoing support. By bringing SURFACE programming into a coworking environment, we’re creating a setting where artists, entrepreneurs, and creative professionals intersect—sparking conversation, collaboration, and new possibilities.
What this partnership includes:
Additional 4 SURFACE exhibitions hosted at Blue Sky Coworking during a 12-month cycle
An inaugural art opening on 01/23 as part of Blue Sky’s grand opening curated by Harwood Staff
Continued professional development through follow-on workshops tying arts and entrepreneurship
Group events and peer gatherings open to SURFACE alumni
Bi-monthly opportunities for artists to engage with a broader creative and professional community
Blue Sky Coworking was designed to be more than a place to work—it’s a place where ideas are shared, creative practices are supported, and community is built. Partnering with Harwood Art Center allows us to further that mission while helping ensure that emerging artists have ongoing platforms to grow, exhibit, and connect.
We’re honored to work alongside Harwood Art Center and to support the talented artists who make up the SURFACE community. We look forward to welcoming artists, alumni, and the public to upcoming exhibitions and events at Blue Sky Coworking. And keep a look out as we transform the walls of our lounge into an inspirational exhibit.
